Probably you are right because the version of "apt" I use is "0.7.25.3ubuntu9. 3" on Ubuntu 10.04.2. So if this bug has already been answered, I apologize for the unnecessary alert. I will try to install and test version "0.8.3ubuntu7" from Ubuntu 10.10 repositories and eventually I will let you know if I will encounter any problem.
